About Me:
While attending law school during the evenings, I worked full time during the day as a mail clerk and messenger for a large prestige law firm located at downtown five-points in Atlanta.
I practiced law solo for two years before returning to school to pursue an AS Degree in the then new and rapidly growing field of Electronic Engineering Technology.
Upon graduation in 1983 with High Honors, I spent the next 20 years building a successful engineering career in information technology as a telecommunications and electronic technician for a southeastern regional bank and two Georgia universities, a systems analyst for a southeastern electric utility information services company, a network engineer and a network manager for a Georgia international credit card processor and a major Georgia health care information processing company.
In August, 2003, I left the field of information technology and reentered the legal field as an attorney with a solo practice specializing in adoptions, adult misdemeanor criminal defense, juvenile delinquency defense, family violence protective orders, and guardian ad litem for children in cases of deprivation and abuse.
Country:
United States
Interests:
Surfing net; reading, boating on Lake Lanier; playing Les Paul Studio w/100W Marshall and Martin accoustic cutaway. Studied classical piano for 4 yrs ('63-'67) under East Point middle school teacher Evelyn Moseley and much later ('97-2003) improvisational blues and classical Southern rock guitar under well-known Atlanta vocalist, guitarist and all around good friend, Angela Motter.
Movies:
CSI New York, any Law and Order, Criminal Minds, Fringe; C-SPAN, CNN, PBS, History Channel.
Music:
Many (well known and not so well known), but Joe Satriani is a force of nature. I listen for premire guitar work (solos or instrumentals) in rock and blues. I'm particularily interested in progressive rock and its subgenres. I came of age in the late 60s and early 70s so I'm especially tuned into the classic rock music and counterculture politics from that bygone but incredible era.
